Beautiful Mountain Hike - tour covers all the bases
I did the Fuji 2 Day hike 16-17 July 2024. An interesting note - while I booked the trip through Tokyo Gaijins the actual trip up the mountain was accomplished by VIP Tour which was fine as they work out of the Mt Fuji Miharashi facility at the 5th station (Yoshida Trailhead). Nice setup with a gear rental shop, gift shop, coffee bar, restaurant and climber break area (on the 3rd floor). What appealed to me was the flexibility of their hiking plan, I was able to enjoy all the benefits, pickup in front of the Shinjuku Post Office (and return), overnight hut, onsen visit, etc., but didn't have to participate in a line of ducks march up (down) the mountain behind a guide. I was free to move at my own pace limited only by checkin time restrictions. Despite not being a fan of organized, overnight treks I have to say this was an exception. Highly recommend.

Good way to see Mt. Fuji for the first time
The tour guides were very informative and made sure that we knew everything that is needed, from making sure that money for the restrooms or food on the mountain, had appropriate equipment, and so on. They really made sure people on the tour were ok.
